Compiled & mixed by Mike G at Rubycon Sound, August 2017
The Red Bull Music Academy commissioned me to write the article Ambience Australis – 10 essential Oz ambient and downtempo albums reviewed for their street zine The Note to coincide with the Red Bull Weekender arts and music festival in Sydney, 31 August-3 September 2017.
I also created this mix - a tribute to some great Australian music from the past 30 years.
